A forum to discuss the Qld Department of Energy and Water Supply’s:

Discussion Paper: Shaping our water future.

ASBG and Aurecon invite you to participate in a discussion forum facilitated by Rowan Barber from ASBG and Ken Watson from Aurecon.

In November 2012, the State Water Supply Minister Mark McArdle launched a discussion paper to guide the development of a 30 Year Water Sector Strategy to ensure affordable, secure, sustainable and high quality water and sewerage services across Queensland, Australia.

The Queensland Water Sector Discussion Paper is designed to facilitate active discussion and participation in creating a new path for Queensland’s water future in urban, rural, regional and remote communities.

The Discussion Paper focuses on what Queensland’s future water needs may look like and discusses and identifies the opportunities and challenges Queenslanders are likely to face over the next 30 years.

The water vision for Queensland cannot be achieved by government alone, and this discussion paper needs input and innovative ideas and solutions to help realise Queensland's water future.

All aspects of the water industry will be examined, including how water is supplied and delivered to the myriad of end users, operation of infrastructure and how to improve the integration of water and sewerage management.

Discussion points will include:

• New technologies for sewage and water supply
• Integration and control systems
• Institutional and reguatlory arrangements
• Water and sewage transported and treatment
